The Police Gazettes are an incredibly unique source of information, simply because they were designed to be distributed amongst the Police Force only, and the information contained often cannot be found anywhere else.

Issued once a week, this is a compilation of all of the issues of the South Australia Police Gazette that were issued 1897. Each issue is generally four pages long, and contains information such as court lists, lists of warrants issued, appointments and changes in the Police Service, lists of arrests and discharges (which include descriptions), escaped prisoners, and missing persons. Murders, arson, house-breakins, robberies, lost and found items, missing horses or cattle, and more are also included. Notices from Police Gazettes from other states are also often included.
